IRVINE Victoria have named their new manager for the coming season.

Former coach Stuart MacDuff will be taking the reins at Victoria Park in 2024/25 following the departure of Dougie MacDuff at the conclusion of this season.

After he was announced as the new boss on Tuesday, May 28, MacDuff said he "can't wait" to get started.

He said: "I am delighted to accept the manager's position. I really enjoyed my previous coaching role at the Vics.

"I know what the club means to the fans. I've always had a great relationship with the committee and can't wait to get started."

Alongside the new managerial appointment, Irvine Victoria also announced the coaching team who will assist MacDuff in his role.

Coming in as his assistant will be former Ardeer Thistle defender Paul McKay. The brother of Hearts star Barrie will bring a wealth of experience at this level to the position.

Three coaches have also been put in place by the club with Scott McDougall, Dylan Bolam and Max Durrant, son of Rangers legend and current Kilwinning Rangers coach Ian, all coming on board.
